Preparing the
Equipment Rack
To prepare the equipment rack for the installation of the AT-SBx3106
Chassis, perform the following procedure:
Caution
The chassis is heavy and should be mounted as low as possible in
the equipment rack to maximize vertical stability.
1. Reserve 190.0 mm (7.5“) of vertical rack space for the installation of
the AT-SBx3106 Chassis, as shown in Figure 36 on page 84.
2. Do not mount any other equipment within 152.4 mm (6”) above this
space during installation. This additional vertical space is temporary
and allows you enough room to lift and tilt the chassis into its position
in the equipment rack without hitting other equipment, as shown in
Figure 42 on page 90. You may use this additional space for other
network equipment after the chassis is installed.
